Of Rapidly Shifting Weather and Hostels

Upon arriving in the city of Reykjavik our bus pulled into a transfer terminal. Here we waited for a few minutes for our shuttle into the city center. This where we first noticed ho rapidly the weather can turn here. When we pulled in it was fairly clear and calm, by the time we boarded the shuttle it was a blustery near whiteout. The wind really cuts, though the temperature really isn't bad.

The shuttle took us through the narrow and winding streets of town and dropped us right at the door of our hostel, Reykjavik Backpackers. We were greeted by the attendant and a couple of girls who spotted my Sounders scarf and asked asked if we were from Seattle. Turns out, they also hail from the Emerald City. The hostel seems nice and clean, rather spartan as hostels can be, but it will be a nice place to lay our heads for a few nights.

We've dropped our gear, sent a few emails and such and are about to head out into the weather to really begin our adventure. First up, find our first breakfast in Iceland!
